SAVE THE DATE!
THE 2023 NATIONAL REVIEW COURSE WILL RUN FROM OCTOBER 30 TO NOVEMBER 3, 2023.
Welcome to the 2023 National Public Health and Preventive Medicine Review Course!
The UBC School of Population and Public Health and Queen’s Department of Family Medicine Public Health and Preventive Medicine residency programs have partnered together to host the annual national public health and preventive medicine review course. The course will take place from October 30-November 3, 2023. We are pleased to continue to offer participants three attendance options: in-person in Kingston, ON, in-person in Vancouver, BC or virtually via Zoom (including asynchronous attendance).
The course is an intensive review of the knowledge and competencies of the PHPM specialty offered annually to all Canadian R4 and R5 residents from Royal College training programs in Public Health and Preventive Medicine, as well as practicing physicians. Junior residents are also welcome to join, however it is worth noting content is directed towards more senior learners. National-level teachers have been selected to instruct the course which will include review and application of key concepts and examples for written and oral Royal College examination preparation. The course objectives align with the PHPM Royal College objectives of training. We have also identified entrustable professional activities and core curricula linked to each topic.
Session and topic themes were created from Public Health Agency of Canada core competencies for public health in Canada, the set of minimum competencies for medical officers of health in Canada, and a review of the American College of Preventive Medicine review course syllabus and the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada Primer on Population Health. Our goal is to ensure all residents are familiar with this core curricula content and have a solid base on which to prepare for their examinations.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference! If you have any questions, please contact us.
Sincerely,
|
